Oh, jeesus i did not realize it was the SAME PLACE and now it hurts SO MUCH WORSE.

I have the Captain America: The First Avenger script book (nerd, nerd, such a nerd XD) and one thing I found really interesting is that, in the original script, the bar wasn’t destroyed. This whole scene between Steve and Peggy still takes place, but it’s just Steve back in the same bar, trying to get drunk (and failing).

Making it a bombed-out wreck was such a brilliant decision, though. As well as making this scene utterly devastating (there’s nothing that isn’t completely heart-stomping about Steve crying and alone in the bombed-out shell of a place he was once happy) it also underscores how thoroughly there’s no going back. His friend is gone, and even the bar isn’t there anymore. The wreckage of the bar is the wreckage of his LIFE.

Ahhhh I didn’t recognise it now everything hurts even more.

The movie is about…as he struggles to find an identity in the modern world, his old life is slipping away – is hanging on by a thread. Peggy doesn’t remember him… and she’ll be dead soon. She’s the last remnant of his past. And Sam happens to find his way into his life, so now he’s slowly meeting a new friend, he’s gaining a trust with Widow…so the movie is about a journey for him as he finds new elements in the modern world to emotionally attach himself to. The cruel twist is that, the Winter Soldier shows up…and it’s like the past punching him in the face.” — Joe Russo [x]

seriously, i mean if nothing else peggy has a video in the cap exhibit, that shot of the picture of her in his compass is probably legendary, and natasha is a smart smart woman.

plus y’know. she’s not even looking at the picture for more than half a second when she asks. She’s looking at STEVE.

This was always my head canon. She’s feeling him out. She keeps getting excuses why not, why he won’t date these girls, and there’s that cutie at the park that she saw Steve hanging out with, and she thought, oh, hello, maybe Cap’s batting for the other team, but then she sees his face in this scene and dares to ask, and his reaction is enough to answer. He’s not gay, though he might be equal opportunity in the sexuality department and regardless, he’s too messed up still to really be ready to talk about Peggy. Because unlike Bucky, who died and he mourned even though it was just for a short while, Peggy is still alive and Steve still feels fidelity to her, even though it’s been a lifetime for her, and she didn’t pine away alone but had a family.
